Prologue

September 18th, 2032, 04:17:32 p.m.

‘’Dr. Gerald, will this work?’’ said Dr. Davidson. ‘’Of course, this is the only way and we have no time left to figure out how test subjects would react’’ said Dr. Gerald. ‘’Davidson, I need you to get me the syringe now, if this is happening, it is right now’’. Dr. Gerald injected himself with a self-made vaccination for a deadly virus named the XY-7. The XY-7 virus was created by scientist within the Nations for Improvement of Health and Diseases (NIHD) in order to combat a series of human diseases, but had horrible results when exposed to their first human test subjects.

After seeing the XY-7 virus’ devastating reaction of dissolving human flesh from the inside and a dramatic increase to body heat temperature, NIHD decided it would be best used to combat against enemies of the Great Nations to avoid weaponized warfare. The Great Nations consist of an allied force between nine powerful nations: China, Japan, Russia, United States, United Kingdom (and all of its territories), Italy, France, Turkey, and Germany.

The Great Nations were established after a war broke out between China and the Koreas in 2022, then Russia against Spain in 2023, Germany and Turkey against most South American countries in 2025, and United States with United Kingdom against joined forces of Mexico, India, and South Africa in 2026. The whole world was involved in a war and the strongest nations decided the best way to victory was an overall alliance for a better world. The establishment of the Great Nations was finalized in 2029.

A lead scientist in the creation of the virus was Dr. Anthony Gerald; Dr. Gerald was a young man with high hopes to building the perfect immunity for humans. When he discovered that the NIHD would use this virus as a weapon against enemies, he foresaw a terrible future and began preparations for a vaccine. Dr. Gerald’s assistant and best friend, Dr. Joseph Davidson was on board to fighting against this deadly virus. The two of them knew they had to keep this a secret though; the entire research facility of NIDH was on full support for the virus’ potential because the world had been at war for twenty years across every nation. Gerald and Davidson knew that making a cure to this virus could mean a shift in the global war.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
